Petra has had a long-time love of tech, gaming and entertainment, especially if she can find it at a discount. With a background in archaeology, she’ll dig deep to find the best deals and thanks to her long history in retail, knows what makes a good bargain. She also is a bit of a keyboard hobbyist, having found enjoyment with mechanical keyboards during 2020’s lockdown, and enjoys trying out new peripherals whenever she gets the chance.

In her free time, you can find Petra consuming some type of Star Wars media, wandering around catching Pokémon, or just generally annoying her opponents with board destruction in Magic the Gathering. She adores animals, particularly cats, and wants to find all the best pet tech out there for her two spoiled kitties at home.
